Understanding Friendship Month in EYFS & KS1
Hooray for friends! Friendship Month is a wonderful, informal initiative often celebrated during September (though sometimes observed in August or February) to shine a spotlight on the importance of building, maintaining, and valuing friendships. While it doesn't have a specific, universally recognized founder or official date, it's a concept embraced by educators and families alike to nurture positive social connections. It's about recognizing the joy and support that friends bring into our lives.
For early years settings, nurseries, preschools, childminders, and Year 1 and Year 2 classrooms, Friendship Month provides a deeply relevant and engaging theme for exploring social skills, emotional development, and relationships. It's about teaching children empathy, communication, sharing, and kindness – essential foundations for healthy friendships. This initiative offers fantastic planning ideas and inspiration for engaging activities that truly resonate with young minds, making learning about social-emotional well-being both practical and heart-warming.
Why Is Teaching About Friendship & Kindness Important for Young Children?
Integrating lessons about friendship and kindness into your practice with young children (aged 0-7) is incredibly important for fostering their social competence, emotional intelligence, and overall well-being. During their early years, children are actively learning how to interact with others, share, resolve conflicts, and form their first meaningful relationships outside the family unit.
Social Development: Learning about friendship helps children develop vital social skills like sharing, taking turns, cooperating, and communicating effectively.
Emotional Intelligence: Exploring feelings related to friendship (joy, sadness, resolving disagreements) helps children understand their own emotions and those of others, building empathy. Our 'Emotions - 'Why Is Teddy Sad?' Activity Pack' and 'Emotions - 'Why Is Teddy Happy?' Activity Pack' are great for this.
Building Community: Fostering a sense of friendship within the setting helps create a supportive, inclusive, and positive learning environment.
Conflict Resolution: Discussions around friendship naturally lead to opportunities to teach children how to navigate disagreements and make amends.
Self-Esteem: Being a good friend and having friends contributes significantly to a child's sense of belonging and self-worth.
Moral Development: Practicing kindness and understanding its impact helps children develop a strong moral compass.
Engaging Friendship & Kindness Activities for Friendship Month (0-7 Year Olds)
Making Friendship Month a truly heartfelt and connected experience is easy with these planning ideas and activities perfect for EYFS and KS1 children. The focus is on connection, empathy, and celebrating the joy of being together! Many of these early years and year 1 activities can be supported by the extensive range of printable resources we have available.
Here's some inspiration for nurturing friendships and kindness in your setting: (Please use your own discretion and knowledge of your children to ensure appropriateness of each activity and safety concerning any materials given and activity undertaken.)
"What Makes a Good Friend?" Discussion: Start conversations about the qualities of a good friend. Use our 'Kindness and Friendship - 'What Makes a Good Friend' Mark Making' sheets for children to draw or write their ideas.
Acts of Kindness Challenges: Encourage daily acts of kindness. Use our 'Acts of Kindness’ Activity and Display' to inspire and track kind deeds. Our 'Lets Show Kindness - Activity Prompt Poster' and 'Lets Show Kindness - Activity Prompt Cards' also offer good starting points.
Friendship Card Making: Provide materials for children to make cards for their friends. Our 'Friendship' Card Templates (Free Sample)' and 'Thank-You For Being My Friend!' Cards' are perfect for this. They can also use 'Thank-You For Being Kind!' Cards'.
"My Lovely Friend" Creative Activities: Encourage children to draw or write about their friends using our 'Kindness and Friendship - 'My Lovely Friend' Mark Making'.
Connecting Activities: Facilitate activities that encourage connection and interaction between children. Our 'Let's Connect - With Each Other - Activity Prompt Poster' and 'Let's Connect - With Each Other - Activity Prompt Cards' provide ideas for this.
Sharing Activities: Emphasize sharing through play. Our 'Beach - Who Will Share This Shell?' can be a fun prompt for discussing sharing and fairness.
Emotional Literacy with Teddy: Explore emotions related to friendships. Our 'Emotions - 'Why Is Teddy Sad?' Activity Pack' and 'Emotions - 'Why Is Teddy Happy?' Activity Pack' can help children understand and express feelings.
Picnic for Friends: Organize a pretend or real picnic. Use our 'Outdoor Picnic Area - 'At Our Picnic We...' Display' to discuss what friends do together at a picnic.
Kindness Display & Awards: Create a "Kindness Corner" display. Use our 'Kindness and Friendship - Display Certificates/Notes' and 'Kind To Me' Display Certificates/Notes' to celebrate acts of kindness and good friendships. The 'Fairies - Friendship Fairy (award sheets)' can add a magical touch. Our 'Be The Reason Someone Smiles Poster' is a great visual reminder.
Drawing/Writing About Kindness: Provide sheets for children to reflect on acts of kindness they've seen or done using 'Acts of Kindness’ Mark Making/Drawing/Writing A4 Sheet'.
Planning Support: Don't forget to check out our 'Planning - Topic Plan Ideas - Animals' and 'Planning - Topic Plan Ideas - Pets' as these topics often involve discussions about caring for others, which links to empathy and kindness.
These activities offer great inspiration for making Friendship Month a memorable and impactful experience in your early years and Key Stage One setting, fostering positive social skills, empathy, and the joy of connection.

We created this ‘Why is Teddy sad?’ pack in order for you to be able to explore with children how sometimes something may feel wrong inside when there are no obvious cuts, bruises, etc.
As well as investigating the feeling of ‘sadness’ by talking about what might cause us to feel sad and what it actually feels like, this pack could also be a doorway to talking about mental health. It also aids in the mindfulness practice of recognising emotions.

Heart and Star shaped ‘Kind to me’ certificates/notes. Children may be encouraged to think (for example on a Friday) about who has been kind to them during that week. Children can then draw or write about how that person was kind to them and can give the certificate they have made to that person. This can either then be taken home by the child who did the act of kindness or put on the wall as part of a setting/class display.

These Friendship Fairy sheets are designed for children to fill out and give to a friend when they recognise that their friend has said or done something special or ‘magic’! (For younger children you may like to encourage them to let you know when they think their friend has been extra kind, thoughtful or caring towards them in order for you to fill out the sheet for them.)
Award sheets can then be given to children for their ‘magic’ acts of friendship to take home and share with their families.
